Man Who Helped Clean Out

NEW YORK, August 16.-The Sm says

NEW YORK, August l6.-The SlUl says:
1T begins to look as though the cred
itOrs of II. s. Ives u Co, who propose to
utilize the collapse of the tirm TO acquire
control OF the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton road at as cheap figure rs posi-
pie, were not going to have everything
their own way. There is wide diversity
of opinion as to how the affairs Of Ives x
Co. should be managed. OF course the
money lenders are perfectly satisfied to be
paid of and they cannot from their point
of view be paid too quickly. But the
creditor companies other than the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton, are going to
it that the equity in the loans OF Ives 4
Co. is made as large as possible. Its share
of the equity will revert to them and be
sides getting some securities back, that is
about all they can hope
TO RECOVER FROM THE WRECK.
80 far rs can be learned there was q
good deal of skirmishing, yesterday, be-
tween the conflicting creditor interests,
which Is quite likely 90 lead 10 decisive
action to-day. The fact was developed
yesterday that the hypothecttiom OF 81
25O, coo OF Dayton aud Chicago first mort
gage bonds was even more culpablc tran
sactiOn than it at first appeared. These
bonds were authorized to take up an equal
amount OF notes issued in connection with
the construction of the road. The bonds
arc therefore not a r7t lien upon the road
for the notes still outstanding, and besides
this authority to issue bonds
HAS EEEN RESCINDED
hy the directors of the company and the
cancellation OF the bonds has been ordered.
That every one who had anything to do
with Ives should be hurt in pocket or rep
utatiOn Is not surprising here. No one
will be surprised to learn that the $1,000
OUO of c. H. X II. bonds which Ives sue
cetded in selling at 90! per cent ostGnsibly
Tor the company, hut in reality for the
benefit OF Ives, have not yet been marketed
by the purchaser. The purchaser was a
pal of Ives who had to leave this State a
few years ago on account OF 4 little matter
Of rehypothcrating that caused good
deal of disturbance when IL was discovered.
The bonds arr being "luggcd' IN Wall
Street and probably will have 10 he for
some time To cumc-at least till the moral
character of the {. II. x D. company has

Didn't Know lie Was Divorced.

PROVIDENCE, August l6.-Another sem
sation in the divorce courts has come to
light. James Cameron, well-known
business man, who some time ago separa-
ted from his wife, was astonished to read
in the papers few days ago that she had
secured divorce from him. On searching
the records it was found that she had ap.
piled for divorce, alleging infdelity
against him, and that, without any notice
having been served on him and without
any hearing in the case her petition had
been granted. Mr.. Cameron will at once
commence proceedings to have the divorce
set aside. All the time the two have been
living happily together.

in the shape of goose egg for the Akrons,

success, and only succeeded in getting
four hits, two of which were scratches.
He was supported i'll great style by West

catches of Nichol in middle and Bell in
right brought down the grand stand, while
the playing of ShetGline on first was fine
The boys are all gone on him, as his funny

ty-four, being made. Alexander the
Akron pitcher, looked tired Wheeling

next man hit a liner to NiChOl at middle,
which everybody thought good for two
bases, but Nichol, after hard run, got in
front of 1t and passed il to second, making
u fine double play. Morrison, our new
pitcher, arrived this afternoon, but will
not play until Friday and Saturday, which
